Nativity Newsletter
This coming week I covet your prayers as Margaret Love and I head to Cursillo #141 on Thursday, September 17th through Sunday September 20th where we will be on staff. Also, please pray for Sally Lott who will be attending as a pilgrim from September 18th through the 20th.
Cursillo is a short course in Christianity. There are a total of 15 talks. Margaret Love will be giving the first talk and I will be giving the 11th talk. It's intense and honestly almost too much to grasp. However, when I attended April, 2025 there was one sentence from 11th talk (coincidentally) that made a significant impact on me. That sentence was "Small groups are the glue that hold a church together."
As you will recall, April 2025 was just 2 months before Duncan retired. That one sentence gave me hope for the future of Nativity. We are seeing this play out now in several ways at Nativity - our after church fellowship, in our food ministries, in our book group, coffee groups, and in other efforts where we get together for a common purpose. Not cliques (God forbid) but in groups where people find commonality and commitment to just show up for each other.
If you do not feel that you are a part of a "small group" at Nativity and want to be. Reach out. Don't hesitate to start your own.
See you Sunday.
